Your article is good. Are you heading more towards discussing Thomson's work specifically on moral philosophy and metaphysics and how that relates to abortion? I am getting that as the gist of the article and just wanted to make sure.

Also, I like that you did add citations to help explain the concepts like consequentialist and hedonist (even though those do not currently have citations). It would provide the reader more context to be able to further understand your material.

Is there any other work that Thomson is known for or is it just "A Defense of Abortion?"

I like that at the end you mentioned privacy. Privacy is a big issue especially when it comes to abortion. The Fourteenth Amendment comes into play there because that is what gives women a right to privacy, a right to abortions. If your focus is Thomson and how she was an advocate for abortion, I would say then go ahead and talk about her significant contributions to abortion. It will help solidify the information about her arguing in favor of abortion. If you can find secondary source articles that discuss this, it would be great.

Will you be expanding on her contributions to meta-ethics, normative ethics, and applied ethics? I understand that it is important to her paper defending abortions, but I guess this question links back to examples on how this comes up in her paper or if it comes up in other works.

Are you also going to expand more on what was stated in "A Defense for Abortion?" The paper seems interesting especially because she provides a scenario to help explain why abortion is not a social evil, but something that may be necessary. However, how does that tie in with her work? The information is provided but I'm curious to see like an example or something that she states in the paper to show how it connects to her research work. This is seen in the example that is already provided and how her philosophical work redirected attention away from just the fetus but also considering the life of the person carrying the child.
